Anyone From Utah?

I didn't ask her about carbs and fat but we should find out right? She's in the office on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays and she usually gets back to you as soon as possible after you email her. I also told her I was tracking using my fitness pal and I added her as a friend and she was able to go in and see what I was eating instead of me having to tell her all over again which was nice. It made getting help easier for both of us.

MFP username is the same as here too. You can add me too. I think I sent you a request keddykat75.

Tacha22001 - how'd you get your Vitamins on your tracker? Great thinking!

[tacha22001 38]

Umm I can't remember. Lol I'll mess with it and let you know????

[tacha22001 38]

OK I logged onto my fitness pal via computer and went to settings and added it under meal names. I also put Water there so I can use the measurement of ounces instead of cups

You know that is great that you want to be my friends on my fitness pal because I was looking for some accountability and just knowing that you guys are seeing what I enter and how I track my food makes me accountable thank you.

Me too! I know I don't do this thing the 'perfect' way (carbs are my everything!)... but it's nice to see other's meals to give me some ideas. I always had my meals locked down but that was when I was embarrassed of my 2000+cals/day, lol... now I have some better accountability it's not hard to share.

I'm going to get the Vitamins added to mine too. It's not hard for me to remember my Vitamins because they're part of my nightly pill routine but I like having it visible for the NUT when/if she can see it on MFP.

For Water, I actually don't typically put my Water in MFP just because I use a different app that reminds me when to drink and is kind of fun. I really like it. You can set your goal by oz and you can set how many/when/oz reminders to keep you on goal for drinking during the day. It's called Hydro Coach.

I didn't have to add my Vitamins, I just searched for them like I would food and there they were.

Yeah my Vitamins came up just like food too But being a bit ocd I had to have my own little space for them.

hydro coach I couldn't find it in the App Store. Do you use Apple?

Do either of you watch YouTube videos of people that have had vsg surgery? I have found them so helpful.

[keddykat75 57]

I have watched some of vsgtanya2011 and Lauren Losing

[jas84047 72]

I did watch a couple YouTube videos...nothing that stood out though.

I'm an Samsung/Android gal... so I bet HydroCoach isn't on Apple. Darnit.
Totally get ya on the OCD thing with the vitamins... I wouldn't add them if I couldn't put them in their own category either. LOL

[tacha22001 38]

I watched finding Elizabeth and flyegirl VSG love them both can't wait to watch more. I'm too chicken to do videos of my own though.

How do u guys add oz to my fitness pal I looked last night and couldn't figure it out. I'm having a hard time tracking my stuff. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting enough calories but I still can't eat more then like 2 oz at a time.

[jas84047 72]

Cole225 - I think tacha explained it above. You have to not do it in the Water section but actually add water as a food.< /p>

I have to say putting my horrible food in MFP today definitely had me embarrassed since I have viewers...it's been a horrible day for me... a work party where the cafeteria was closed and not any good choices for me & I'm about to go to a wedding. Ugh....tomorrow will be better! :/
